About This Guide
This guide describes the express process for configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) with a Cisco Wireless
Controller to provide Guest Access. Using the steps in this guide, you can set up guest access for your users in
approximately two hours.
Some aspects of this guide can be used for a WLC or ISE that has already been set up. This guide’s flow requires you to
have a physical controller that has been reset (no config) and ISE web UI available so that we may step you through basic
setup in the correct order.
This guide is most helpful for those that have bought ISE Express (an inexpensive license for WLC/ISE), but maybe used
by anyone that wants to configure the ISE and WLC from a clean install.
This guide is for ISE 2.0.
There are two types of portals supported by this guide:
•
•
Guest Access with Hotspot Guest Portals
Guest Access with Credentialed Guest Portals
How Do I Get Support?
For general support ISE Guest and wireless, please contact your local Cisco partner, account team, ISE Support community
or the Cisco TAC.
For questions around the licensing bundle known as ISE Express or specific issues with the ISE Wireless Guest Setup
Guide or Wizard please email ise-express@cisco.com
Using This Guide
This guide has two parts that describe the activity required to install and configure Wireless Guest access using ISE and a
Cisco Wireless Controller (WLC).

Guest Access
When people outside your company attempt to use your company’s network to access the Internet or resources and services
on your network, you can provide them network access using Guest Access portals. Guests typically represent authorized
visitors, contractors, customers, or other temporary users who require access to your network.
There are two types of Guest Access portals supported by this guide:
•
•
Guest Access with Hotspot Guest Portals
Guest Access with Credentialed Guest Portals
Guest Access with Hotspot Guest Portals
The Guest Access with Hotspot Guest portal provides network access without requiring guests to establish usernames and
passwords to connect. This type of Guest Access eliminates the overhead required to manage each individual guest account.
When the guest connects to the network, they are redirected to the ISE Hotspot Guest portal where they must accept an
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) to gain access to the network and eventually the Internet.
Guest Access with Credentialed Guest Portals
The Credentialed Guest portal requires guests to have a username and password to gain access. Using a self-registration
portal, the guest can create their own account to use to login to the Guest Portal. The self-registration portal can also be
used along with credentials created by a Sponsor. A Sponsor can be an employee or lobby ambassador, for example. When
the guest connects to the network, they are redirected to a portal that allows them to login with credentials created through
self-registration or provided by a sponsor. After guests log in, they can be required to accept an Acceptable Use Policy
(AUP) to gain access to the network. You can also set up access using a Sponsored Guest Portal, which requires users to
have credentials created by a Sponsor.
For more information about guest portals and features, refer to Cisco Guest Access.

Planning
Before you start installing and configuring ISE and the WLC, we recommend that you spend some time collecting
information that you use during installation and configuration. We created a checklist you can use to help organize and
record server information. Refer to this checklist as needed during the installation and configuration processes.
Note: Before installing ISE, and while you are recording the Pre-setup Checklist information, make sure you have access to
the following services. If these services are not available, the installation process may fail.
• DNS (Internal Server )
• NTP and default gateway
Verify the time is correct on your ESX and NTP hosts. Host times must to be synchronized for services and certificates to
work correctly.

To better explain the scenarios and configurations listed in this document, look at the sample topology in Figure 8
Cisco Systems © 2016
Page 20
SECURE ACCESS HOW-TO GUIDES
Figure 8 Sample Topology
The Cisco 3560G switch in the Figure 8 Sample Topology provides basic connectivity to all the components. Configure all
the ports on the switch for access VLAN 100, except Port 10, which must be configured as a Trunk port.
Refer to Appendix A – Switch Configuration for more details on switch configuration.
Note: After the WLC reboots the management function is now live on VLAN 100 (example 10.1.100.42) and will no
longer respond via the old IP address.
Step 1
Step 2
Disconnect the admin laptop from Port 2 on the WLC and connect it instead to Port 1 on the switch.
Connect Port 1 on the WLC to the Trunk Port 10 on the switch. Your Switch trunkport should contain the
Management VLAN (100) and Guest VLAN (50) in order to manage the controller and to provide guest access
o
Step 3
You should be able to again access the WLC using the admin PC. (Example: https://10.1.100.42).
Setup your network for your access point discovery of the controller.
To set up your access point, configure your network to discover the wireless controller. For more information about
setting up discovery options in your network, please refer to the Wireless Controller documentation:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/8-0/configurationguide/b_cg80/b_cg80_chapter_01100101.html#ID302
Step 4
After you have setup the necessary discover option in your network, connect your Access Point to Port 8
Note: At this point, you should be able to see your Guest Wireless Network (SSID) from any client (Pre-Setup Checklist
#4). This is a basic splash page from the controller and its not yet integrated to use the ISE Guest (Web Auth)
Portals.

Assisted WLC & ISE Configuration with Setup Wizard
Now that you have completed the basic installation and setup of the WLC and ISE, you have two options on how to
proceed with the rest of the configuration.
The recommended path is to use the ISE 2.0 Wireless Guest Setup Wizard to automate this task. The wizard runs on OS X
and Windows. It will ask you the information required to connect and configure your system for your required Guest Flow.
You should have previously downloaded Wizard. If not, download it here Cisco ISE Download Software.
By using the wizard, you bypass most of the guide as seen in Figure 9.

Configuring the WLC for ISE Web Authentication
In this next section, you will configure the necessary security settings on the WLC to work with ISE. RADIUS NAC allows
ISE to send a Change of Authorization (COA) request,which allows the user to authenticate and access the network.
Essentially, it gives ISE the ability to change the state of a client on the fly without requiring a new session. For example,
after being redirected to ISE for portal authentication, the client is authenticated and allowed access to the network.

Authentication Policy Setup
An authentication policy allows you to statically define the allowed protocols and the identity source or identity source
sequence that Cisco ISE will use for communication. Cisco ISE provides a preconfigured working authentication policy for
guest access by default.
Viewing Default Authentication Policy
To view the preconfigured default authentication policy, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Login to ISE Admin UI.
Navigate to Policy > Authentication.
o
The Default Authentication Policy page appears, as shown in Figure 41.
Figure 41 Default Authentication Policy
In the default authentication policy, MAB for unknown internal endpoints is set to Continue, which allows guest endpoints
(which are unknown) to continue authentication and be authorized for redirection to the guest portal.
Create an Authorization Profile to Redirect Guest Endpoints to ISE
When endpoints first access the network, they are authenticated with MAB, and must be redirected to the guest portal for
authorization. ISE 2.0 comes with a built-in profile called Cisco_WebAuth. You will modify this to work with your guest
installation.

The configuration flow for any portal type is to present a page where the user accepts an AUP (hotspot) or logs in to a
Credential Portal.
Key Point! The configuration shown above is a simple authorization, which is based off the Endpoint Group. A
user/device comes into the network. They accept an AUP (Hotspot) or enter some credentials (Credentialed
Flow) where the device is registered into GuestEndpoints. Then they are given access based off that Endpoint
Group. The user/device will not be redirected to accept the AUP or login to the portal again until the device is
manually purged or passes the 30 day mark (default setting).
If you would like to change the purge date, configure the setting Purge endpoints in this identity group when
they reach __ days old
• Hotspot flow, this is configured under the Portal Settings for Hotspot Guest Portals.
• Credentialed flow, this is done using the Guest Type, referenced under Create or Edit Guest Types.
Another option of granting access to the network for the Credentialed Guest Flow is to base your Authorization
Rules off the Guest Flow or the Guest Type accessing the network. This configuration allows you to restrict
users by the settings of the Guest Type. For example: Maximum account duration, Allow access only on these
days and times, Maximum simultaneous logins and more, as described in Create or Edit Guest Types.
This requires the user to login to the portal every time they have a new network session. For example, a user
would put their device to sleep, resume, and get a new wireless session ID, as configured in the WLC User Idle
Timeout value (default of 180 seconds).
This configuration is only for Credentialed flows:
The first example, seen in Figure 46 is a simple method of allowing any type of Guest to be permitted to the
network through the Guest Flow. This flow comes built-in but you will to change the permissions for the WiFi_Guest_access to use your Authorization Profile for Guest Permit.
The second example, seen in Figure 47 allows you to grant access depending on the Guest Type. A contractor
could have special access when compared to a regular Guest

Configure Guest Locations and Time Zones
These settings are required to support self-registered and the sponsored guest flows. You only need to setup the location(s)
your guest will be accessing the network from, so that your guest or sponsor can easily choose the time zone when the
account will be activated.
Note: This is very important. If you don’t configure a location, then the account will not activate at the correct time. The
user will not be able to login.
You will also need to make sure that the time on your ISE server is correct. If its only a few minutes faster than your
browser, then you may notice it takes a few minutes for the accounts created using self-registration, or for sponsored flows
to start working.
The message shown to the end user using the guest portal is Authentication failed.
On ISE under Operations > Authentications , you will see entry details stating that the Account is not yet active.
For ease of use, if only one location is configured in your portal and sponsor group, then guests and sponsors will not be
presented the option to select location.
Deployments in the PST time zone can use the San Jose location that is built into ISE. If that time zone is acceptable, then
skip to the section Configure Required Settings for Sponsored Guest Flow.
You will not be able to change the name of the default San Jose location. You do not need to remove it because it is not

Below this main section in the UI is where you can tweak the overall look and feel. You can also go into each of
the pages. Depending on your portal settings and portal type, you see different options on the left hand side of
the page. You can tweak the text in the different areas on the page.
There is also a mini-preview that shows your changes to the portal.

SECURE ACCESS HOW-TO GUIDES
Setting up a Well-known Certificate (Optional)
The following section is not required to get your system up and running for guest access, but it is highly recommended. To
ensure that your users will not have to accept an invalid certificate when connecting to the Guest, Sponsor or Administrator
Portal(s) via their web browser, use a certificate that has been signed by a well-known Certificate Authority for your ISE
server.
If you would like to skip this section for now, you may continue to the section, What’s Next. You are done with the
minimum setup.
SSL.com is one known vendor that has full support for the certificate type being recommended in this guide, but there are
other providers that will work.
Note: Each certificate provider may refer to the certificate type with a different name. It often helps to call the company or
use their online web-chat to explain what is needed w/ the SAN field(s). Tell them you are looking for a certificate that
contains a wildcard and FQDN both in the SAN field, with an FQDN in the CN= field.
For more information on wildcard certificates and certificate in general please reference the following documents:
• ISE Administrator Guide - Wildcard Certificate Support in Cisco ISE
• Moving Packets Article - When SSL Certificates Go Wild
• Aaron Woland Network World Blog - Wildcard certificates and how to use with ISE
• Aaron Woland How To Guide - HowTo: Implement Cisco ISE and Server Side Certificates
The steps listed in the next process show an example of setting up a Unified Communications Certificate (UCC) with
wildcard in the SAN from SSL.com, which is a subordinate of Comodo.
Create a Certificate Signing Request and Submit the CSR to a Certificate Authority
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Navigate to Administration > System > Certificates > Certificate Signing Requests.
Click Generate Certificate Signing Requests (CSR).
Enter the values for generating a CSR, as shown in Figure 68.

Step 9
Download the signed certificate.
Note: Some CAs might email the signed certificate to you. The resulting download or email attachment is often in the form
of a zip file that contains the newly signed certificate and the public signing certificates of the CA. Save the digitallysigned certificate, root CA certificate, and other intermediate CA certificates (if applicable) to the local system running
your client browser to be imported in the next sections.
Import Certificates to the Trusted Certificate Store
In this section you will import the necessary certificates to allow the client and server communication to be trusted. Along
with the server certificate, ISE also presents the root and intermediate (if required) certificates to the client when
communicating.
Note: Not all providers have intermediate certificates that are required to be installed. Intermediate certificates come from
the subordinate CA(s). This example is using SSL.com, which is a subordinate of Comodo. Comodo is a subordinate to the
AddTrust root CA. Therefore, this example is importing a Root Certificate as well as the certificates for the two
subordinates.
To import all three certificates, perform the following steps.
Step 1
Step 2
Navigate to Administration > System > Certificates > Trusted Certificates.
Click Import.

Choose the root certificate returned by your CA.
Under Trusted For: Check the boxes for Trust for Authentication within ISE and Trust for client
authentication and Syslog.
It is also recommended that you select Validate Certificate Extensions
Enter a description.
Click Submit.
Bind the CA-Signed Certificate to the Signing Request
Now that you have received the digitally signed certificate returned by your CA, and imported the CA certificates, the next
step is to bind the certificate signed by the CA to the CSR from ISE. This pairs the certificate and private key that was used
to generate the CSR.
Step 1

Step 3
Navigate to Administration > System > Certificates > Certificate Signing Requests.
Select the entry for your signing request.

SECURE ACCESS HOW-TO GUIDES
Setting Changes for Admin & Guest Accounts (Optional)
After your system is up and running, we recommended that you change the default settings for the following accounts:
o
Familiarize yourself with the Administrator account password policy to prevent lockouts.
o
Set the Guest default username and password requirements to make it easier for your users to manage and
login.
Get Acquainted with the Administrator Password Policy
A common issue seen when setting up ISE is that people forget to change their administrator account settings and they end
up being locked out of the system if they haven’t used it for a while. It’s best to familiarize yourself with the requirements
so that you understand them, and don’t get locked out if you don’t access the system for a while.
Navigate to Administration > System > Admin Access > Password Policy
Change the settings as necessary. For example, Password Lifetime uncheck or extend the line for expiration.
Change Guest Account Requirements
Out of the box, the ISE Guest solution has some fairly difficult password settings. These passwords are long and complex
making them difficult to remember or even write down. For a better user experience you can change these settings. Also
some devices make it difficult to tell them difference between the letter ‘O, l’ and the number ‘0, 1’, which leads to users
having failed authentications. You could also reduce the number of characters to make it easier but mix it up a little to keep
it a little complex.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Navigate to Guest Access > Settings > Guest Username Policy and update per policy as seen in Figure 74.
Change the Minimum username length to 4.
Under Characters Allowed in Randomly Generated Usernames, change the following:
•
•
Alphabetic
 Remove ‘l’ and ‘O’
 Change Minimum to 3
Numeric
 Remove ‘1’ and ‘0’
 Change Minimum to 3
